DHCP Client

The term “client” is sometimes used to refer to a physical machine that
is performing a client role on the network. However, the DHCP client described
in this document is a software entity. The DHCP client is a daemon
(dhcpagent) that runs in Oracle Solaris on a system that is configured to
request its network configuration from the DHCP service. The DHCP client is interoperable with
both the legacy Sun DHCP server and the ISC DHCP server.
